Re: Terminal Colour Scheme Screenshots

Some colors aren't always high-contrast against certain backgrounds, a big offender is magenta against cyan. Is high-contrast important? I think it is so that all the applications out there can use whatever on whatever background and not worry about unreadable text. But I dunno, there are some great themes in here but they seem less-than-idea to me.

Re: Terminal Colour Scheme Screenshots

Well, whipped up my own. I'm actually really pleased with it! My other handcrafted color scheme was terrible.
Some feedback would be awesome

The main thing I was going for was visibility: every color should be easily visible on top of every other color. I might be able to get that and still tone down the intensity...It'll take some fiddling though. I agree that the colors are fairly bright, but it doesn't bother me.

Well, that's why I said "for me", if the bright colors don't bother you, that's great. I just thought I'd put my 2 cents in, as you asked for feedback

I think it is so that all the applications out there can use whatever on whatever background and not worry about unreadable text.

Judge for yourself; here's the default xterm colors:

scp1@shiva:pts/26-> /home » scp1 (vim -X vimrc) 
> cc-xterm-ansi-default
> rgbterm 15           
  0 => 000000
  1 => cd0000
  2 => 00cd00
  3 => cdcd00
  4 => 0000cd
  5 => cd00cd
  6 => 00cdcd
  7 => e5e5e5
  8 => 4d4d4d
  9 => ff0000
 10 => 00ff00
 11 => ffff00
 12 => 0000ff
 13 => ff00ff
 14 => 00ffff
 15 => ffffff

Re: Terminal Colour Scheme Screenshots

These are my .Xresources colors.

Most of the colors are from the Solarized scheme, except normal text/foreground and background, which I picked for orange/blue (#ffaa00/#17165f) for contrast and readability with a dimmed screen and low color temperature via redshift. It's too easy to get eyestrain otherwise. If there was a monitor that used the Kindle e-ink stuff I'd buy it.

Re: Terminal Colour Scheme Screenshots

dunno if it would help, cause a config from that console emulator looks like this:

[BackgroundIntense]
Color=18,18,18
Transparency=false

i'm using Konsole from KDE and the whole theme you can grab here: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/501007/
Or just pick the colors from a picture.

Re: Terminal Colour Scheme Screenshots

Wrote a tool to pick colors from an image and generate an X resources scheme:  https://gist.github.com/1332597
Can be used with the following script to update color-scheme in place:

#!/bin/bash
head='! Scheme Generator: Start'
tail='! Scheme Generator: End'
file="$HOME/.Xdefaults"
image="$HOME/.background"

sed -i "/$head/,/$tail/d" $file
echo "$head" >> $file
term-color-generator "$image" >> $file
echo "$tail" >> $file

[Here's a screenshot of a generated color scheme]
It still needs a little more work—change color tinting, generate light-on-dark schemes, deal with images that have less than sixteen colors, etc.—but, so far, has been doing a fairly nice job.
